The shade-holder may bc clamped, by means of the dogs aforesaid, to a plate. L, Fig. 1, flexibly connected to a strap, li', which is bound around the waist, and thus the person of the wearer is shaded b v the canopy, and he may pursue his occupation in the iield sheltered from the sun, and with both hands free; or it may be secured toa plate, )1, having'projccting therefrom a stein, N, carrying in its end the independentl) vibrating: claws or gripeis U. These gripers have at their ends the rings li', through which passes the strap l, and they are provided withdisk-bearings [,ot' diiel'ent diameters, which are passed into the forked broadened end ot' stein N and secured by means ot' a pivot, u.

The broadened end p ol' the "riperja\v is provided with pert'orations o, which are brought in line with a perforation, o, in stein N, and a pin being passed through these perforations adjusts the, plate M, so as to throw the same at an incline.

The claws arc creased on their inner laces. and are applied on the ponnnel or horn ot' the saddle, the clainp beiner applied by the strap P,Which is drawn tight and wound around the horn ot'the saddle and then buckled.

I ani well aware that. unilreha-holders con` strncted in such manner as to have universal motion both horizontally and vertically are not new, and no broad elaiin to sneh a eonstruction is herein niade.

What I claini as new, and desire to secure by Letters Iatent, is-

1. 'Ihe combination, with the bracket A, havingr the clanipingalogs l, a central opening, b, and radial slots e in the table u, ot'

the bearing-disk l, having,r the spindle (I, the

The. combination, with the bracket A, the horizontally-vibrating and adjustable bearing;r t, radial slots c' in said bracket, a slot, e', in said bearing, and a key, e, extending through said slots, ot' the nprigbts D, erected on said bearing, and havingi,r slotsf, the wheel E, baving slotsf nearits perimeter, and carrying the clauiparui l`, and a key, g, passing,r through said slots and adjusting the clamp vertically, substantially as specified.

4. In an unibrcllwholder, the combination ot' the clanip F, and a staff, G, having the squared portion y, the disks H H thereon, the rods l 1, pivoted, respectively, to said disksat one end and to each other al: the other, the canopy J, secured to the joined ends of said rods, the upright K on disk Il, extending through a slot, z, in disk H, and provided with pertoration i, and a pin, p', extending:` throng-h said perforation under disk H', substantially as specified.
